TechHire Oakland at the Kapor Center is bringing Airbnb to the East Bay.

 

Applications are open for Connect, Airbnb’s paid software engineering apprenticeship.  This is a six month opportunity to build onramps to technical jobs for non-traditional talent (those without four-year computer science degrees).

 

Join us to hear directly from the program’s leaders and decision makers. Gain tips for prepping and applying that will help you stand out.  And meet with current employees about their diverse pathways into the company and the skills they use daily.

 

These connections may be the key to your next job!
